IMPROVEMENT IN FLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,878, dated June 11,1872.

SPECIFICATION- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. HAsLUP, of Sidney, in the county of Shelby andState of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSulky-Plows and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a sulkyplow, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my plow Fig. 2 is an enlarged planview of a part of the tongue showing its connection with thesulky-frame, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same.

A represents the tongue, on the rear end of which, both on the upper andlower sides, are attached tongue-plates B B. Through the the centers ofthese plates are hubs a. a, which work in holes on the hound-caps (l0,.said caps being fastened together by bolts b b passing through thetop cap and screwing into the bottom cap. D is a plate to which thefoot-lever E is attached. This plate is provided with lipsc' i on itsunder side, which project under the edges of the top cap 0, and in arecess on the top-plate B. By pressing upon either end of the foot-leverE the sulky is vibrated to the right or left, thus throwing the plow inor out from the land, and making a complete joint between the tongue andsulky, the tongue turning on the hubs or pivots a a. G Gr are thehounds, which are held to-, gether at the front ends by the caps G C.These hounds are widened as they extend back and are held together,orconnected, at their rear ends by the axle H, which passes through theirextreme rear ends. I I are the through which its arm passes, so thatsaid stud can be raised or lowered at will. This is effected by means ofthe lever K attached to the arm and connected with the stud by a rod,

e. The wheel by this means is raised or dropped on the land to suit thedepth to be plowed, the height being regulated by a pin inserted inholes upon the wheel-arm. L is a sleeve placed on the axle H betweenhounds G G, and provided with two arms, N N, projecting toward the rearand pivoted to the plow M. By revolving this sleeve on the axle thesearms are raised or lowered at will, thus putting the plow in or out ofthe ground. The sleeve is turned by means of the hand-lever O, which isbolted or otherwise affixed to the sleeve. By pushing forward on thislever the plow is raised, and a trigger, f, pivoted to the lever, dropsinto a notch on a circular plate, P, fastened to the hound, and holdsthe plow while it is being turned or taken from the field. The depth tobe plowed is regulated by a pin, h, and pin-holes in the circular-plateP. A small lever, 70, is pivoted at the upper end of the lever O andconnected, by a rod,

m, with the trigger f, by means of which said trigger is raised and theplow is let into the ground. The front end of the plow-beam is held by abrace, R, as shown in dotted lines, which is made adjustable by means ofa slothole in the bottom hound-cap O, and fastened by a set-screw, m. Inplace of the sleeve L, with arms N N, I may use any suitable bail toconnect the plow to the axle.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by 7 Letters Patent, is- I 1.The combination of the tongue A, plates B B with pivot (wand caps G G toform a joint between the tongue and the sulky, substantially as hereinset forth;

2. The plate D and foot-lever E, arranged with the top-plate B and.top-cap G, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

3. In combination with the plow-beam, the brace R, made adjustable inthe bottom-cap O, and fastened by the set-screw n, substantially asherein set forth.

- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two Witnesses.
